Would Jesus desire an earthly kingdom
Where He'd sit upon a throne?
Would He want to write legislation
And improve His earthly home ?

What about Jesus' followers?
What example did they set?
They were displeased with James and John
When they desired to sit at His right & left

Jesus told them that the Gentiles
Desired to have authority
"But so shall it not be among you"
A servant you must be!


Mark 10:37-45
They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 

But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 

And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 

But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. 

And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. 

But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 

But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 

And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many
